Costello looked friggin creepy
Elvis has been spotted filming a role in a film , Delirious , directed byTom DiCillo -
(extract)
I saw Steve Buscemi getting his hair combed inside the theater while the crew were setting up. And also saw Elvis Costello doing a few takes on his own along with extras around him. Might I add, Costello looked friggin creepy. Just wait till u see... The guy looks insane. I didn't get a great look at him from where i stood because the camera operator was in my line of sight, but i looked to the side and found one of the monitors that was hooked up to the camera and watched him do his take. He was great. He had this real creepy/insane/maniacal look to him. But it kinda changed from take to take. ( Tue Dec 6 2005 )

When i arrived to work at around 4 in the afternoon, i noticed that there was film equipment set up right outside the theater on 32nd st. and 2nd Ave. (loews Kips Bay). I found out that this was DiCillo's film and that several known actors were involved with the shoot for that night.
Later on that evening, the action actually began. Lots of the extras had arrived and immediately commenced with shooting. Every-so-often, the crew would ask for the extras to warm up inside the theater while they set up. It became hilarious at one point when an extra got really pissed. After several cuts through the evening, this one extra began doing some elaborate stretching of seemingly every muscle in his body. After maybe the 7th time the extras went back into the theater, literally no more than one minute, did the PA come back inside and yelled: "Background, BACK OUTSIDE!" The extra got pissed for not being able to do his stretching and replied: "Aw, come on!". It was very funny.
Anyway. Now on to the more serious stuff.
After work, I went outside to see the action from a much better perspective. I saw Steve Buscemi getting his hair combed inside the theater while the crew were setting up. And also saw Evlis Costello doing a few takes on his own along with extras around him. Might I add, Costello looked friggin creepy. Just wait till u see... The guy looks insane. I didn't get a great look at him from where i stood because the camera operator was in my line of sight, but i looked to the side and found one of the monitors that was hooked up to the camera and watched him do his take. He was great. He had this real creepy/insane/maniacal look to him. But it kinda changed from take to take.
I also got the chance to see Buscemi do a small take with Michael Pitt. WHat happened was: Buscemi was squeezing through the crowd (extras) with a small camera, trying to inch his way to Toby Grace (Pitt's character) and reach out for his hand. Pitt then reached back. But what was funny about this particular moment was that the director kept redoing the hands reaching out over and over without stopping the camera. Pitt kinda gave off a subtle laugh finding himself in an awkward and physically straining position for such a long time.
Everything else was wonderful to watch. The crew were real nice. One of them offered me a bottle of water. I got to talk to a few bystanders next to me while we watched the crew set up. The lights were amazingly strong and i don't think I've ever had such a hype time at work since Batman sold out like crazy for several nights in a row. Ha.
what a night.
